She walks through endless lines
trying to find a needle that unites
her white pages with selfless kites
reaching heights never farsighted.
As she struggles to persist, it writes
as she walks beneath the lights,
as she walks through endless lines
trying to find a needle that unites...
{ME|to|YOU|YOU|to|ME}
{………………US………………}
In deep expansiveness, we might
realize there is always hidden time
that finds reasons to be all bright
even if we can’t reach what writes,
...we walk through endless lines.

About The Author

I am an engineer, a multilanguage learner, a runner, and an MPhil in Humanities graduate specialized in the philosophy of poetry. For me, poetry is an unfolding creative process, a way to play endlessly, not a finished state. For that reason, I revise and re-edit my work publicly until a poetic form (other than an exploratory) comes to being. My poetry is a thoughtful play that explores acoustic and visual patterns as well as poetic forms. I attempt to blend science and philosophy with poetry. I publish new poems every other day, follow for updates!
